| A sizzling psychological thriller set in the New York Underworld, Men of Respect is a gritty, realistic portrayal of one man's quest for power... and the terrible price he pays to keep it. Inspired by Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', this searing adaptation stars John Turturro as Michael Battaglia, a fearless mobster who wins the respect and admiration of his powerful godfather (Rod Steiger) by assassinating the leaders of a rival family. But the prodding of his ambitious wife and the prophecy of a ghetto gypsy convince Battaglia to murder the godfather and claim his crown. A brilliant study of the criminal mind, as well as a fascinating look at the modern Mafia, Men of Respect is a roller-coaster ride of action and suspense. |
